Many small series have suggested that the prognosis of lung tumors with giant cells is worse than that of most other forms of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), [11] including squamous cell carcinoma, [42] and spindle cell carcinoma. [42] The overall five-year survival rate in GCCL varies between studies but is generally considered to be very low.
Lung cancer is the most diagnosed and deadliest cancer worldwide, with 2.2 million cases in 2020 resulting in 1.8 million deaths. [3] Lung cancer is rare in those younger than 40; the average age at diagnosis is 70 years, and the average age at death 72. [2] Incidence and outcomes vary widely across the world, depending on patterns of tobacco use.

In a retrospective review of 204 children with lung tumors, pleuropulmonary blastoma and carcinoid tumor were the most common primary tumors (83% of the 204 children had secondary tumors spread from cancers elsewhere in the body). [1] Pleuropulmonary blastoma is regarded as malignant. The male:female ratio is approximately one.
In several editions of Physical Diagnosis, [9] concerning mediastinal tumors the author writes: According to Christian 1 the mediastinal neoplasms which are neither so rare nor so obscure as to make diagnosis practically impossible are: (1) Sarcoma (including lymphosarcoma, leucaemic growths, and Hodgkins' disease; (2) Teratoma and cyst.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or non-small-cell lung carcinoma, is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. [1] [2] [3] As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small-cell carcinoma.
Taken as a class, long-term survival rates in BAC tend to be higher than those of other forms of NSCLC. [21] [22] BAC generally carries a better prognosis than other forms of NSCLC, which can be partially attributed to localized presentation of the disease. [23] Though other factors might play a role.
